Subject: [PATCH] gspca: add missing .type field check in VIDIOC_G_PARM

From: Márton Németh <[email protected]>

The gspca webcam driver does not check the .type field of struct v4l2_streamparm.
This field is an input parameter for the driver according to V4L2 API specification,
revision 0.24 [1]. Add the missing check.

The missing check was recognised by v4l-test 0.10 [2] together with gspca_sunplus driver
and with "Trust 610 LCD POWERC@M ZOOM" webcam. This patch was verified also with
v4l-test 0.10.

This line should be deleted as it's no longer needed.

Because memset() clears the whole parm structure this line is necessary. In other
drivers the following code is there:

tmp = parm->type;
memset(parm, 0, sizeof(*parm));
parm->type = parm;

Maybe changing the code similar to this would be easier to read?

The memset isn't needed anymore either, I put it into v4l2_ioctl. I
removed most of the code like that but I may have missed some drivers.

The gspca webcam driver does not check the .type field of struct v4l2_streamparm.
This field is an input parameter for the driver according to V4L2 API specification,
revision 0.24 [1]. Add the missing check.

The missing check was recognised by v4l-test 0.10 [2] together with gspca_sunplus driver
and with "Trust 610 LCD POWERC@M ZOOM" webcam. This patch was verified also with
v4l-test 0.10.

The memset() is not necessary as V4L2 framework already have done this task when
vidioc_g_parm() is called.

I think this check could go in the v4l2 core too. It already does a
similar check for QUERYBUF, QBUF, DQBUF, etc. If the driver doesn't
provide a method for ->vidioc_try_fmt_foo() then the v4l2 core will reject
a call with .type == V4L2_BUF_TYPE_foo.

It seems like it should be ok to do this for S_PARM and G_PARM too.

I agree. Could you provide such patch?
